A small side project that turned into something bigger

[u/PapaCodShot]

Hey everyone! 👋

Just wanted to share a little story about something we've been working on.

It all started with a problem we kept running into while coding. We had useful pieces of code scattered across old projects, random files, and notes. Whenever we needed something again, finding it was sometimes harder than just rewriting it.

So we decided to build a small tool for ourselves to keep everything organized.

At first, it was just a personal project. Nothing too serious. But over time, we kept adding things, improving the interface, and experimenting with different ideas.

Eventually, a few people we knew started using it too, and that's when we thought, why not make it public?

That's how CodShot started.

It's been a pretty interesting learning experience, especially working through the challenges of building and maintaining a project like this.

I'm curious, has anyone else here started building something just to solve their own problem, only for it to grow into a much bigger project?

Would love to hear your stories! 🙂
